Keysight Accelerates Network Automation with Open Network Testing

In today’s dynamic network environment, businesses must find new ways to ensure seamless connectivity, interoperability, and innovation. The siloed, discrete test solutions used in traditional network test environments present challenges for network engineers and architects because they operate in silos, lack interoperability, and are inflexible.

Keysight now offers a wide range of convenient test solutions

Lack of interoperability makes it difficult for devices and technologies from different businesses to communicate seamlessly with each other, slowing innovation and limiting the ability to meet the growing demands of modern distributed applications.

To address these challenges, Keysight created the Open Traffic Generator (OTG) API, a vendor-neutral project, to transform network infrastructure testing and address the need for open, targeted, and easily automated test methodologies. The OTG project enables the co-design of cross-industry test suites in open networking projects such as OpenConfig, SAI, SONiC, SONiC-DASH, and DENT.

The KENG software also supports OTG APIs, integrates with several network simulation platforms, and leverages several Keysight hardware and network infrastructure test software products. These products include the Ixia-c containerized software and the 400GE wire-speed UHD400T traffic generator, which can be incorporated into the new white box.

The software also enables the same tests to be performed in different environments, including developer laptops, development software in public/private clouds, certification labs, as well as data centers and network edge locations, facilitating collaborative testing of devices from multiple vendors.

“Keysight Elastic Network Generator software is significantly different from the traditional black box approach,” said Ram Periakaruppan, vice president and general manager, Network Security and Test Solutions, Keysight. “Our new solution seamlessly tests the entire lifecycle of network functions or services. The open, decoupled, API-first design of the solution has been field-tested and proven to be ideal for modern DevOps.”
